THE TRUE TEACHER.
BY J. A. COX.

A teachers position is certainly a
very responsible one, and one that
requires, above all other profession,
an even temper, q courteous DISPOSE
ton, sound Judgment, and thor
ough knowledge of human nature.
While it is true that no teacher
should expect to satisfy the foolish
whims or whining complaints of all
the chronic grumblers who may en-
deavor to impede him in his pro,
gress, or thwart him in his purposes !;
it is equally true that many teach
er fails simply because he has not
the requisite traits of character and
necessary qualifications for the sue
cessful performance of the duties
entrusted to his care. 1t would re-
qulre volume to delineate in full
the character of the true and model
teacher; and hence / shall notice

The erpsies as Musicians.

As far back as the gypsies can tell any
thing about themselves they have been
wandering people. In Hungary the mu-
sicians are the highest class of Romantics,
and are needed on all occasions. Every
body loves music there, and no christen-
ing, wedding or funeral would be
complete without it. The pieces most
liked are those of gypsy origin; we call
them czardases. The musicians learn
only by ear, and practice by following a
leader bit by bit through the entire piece
until they have memorized it. The or
chestras are made up mostly of violins,
with a couple of clarionets and the GYM
bals--a harp like instrument that lies flat
on a table and is struck by the player
with two small sticks. Such bands wan
der all over Europe and parts of Asia and
Africa, and everywhere they find their
Romany brothers speaking the Romany
language. Of course it is different in
every country, but we can always under
stand one another. Before learned
English or French l could speak intelli-
gently with English or French gypsies.-

Imagine a perfect sphere Of glass with
the polish Of the diamond, perfectly de
void of tint, so pellucid that one can look
into its very depths without catching the
slightest rsy Of color; in fact, it is a
gigantic dewdrop, clear and wonderful in
its absence of color, presenting, as have
said, an astonishing contrast to glass,
which is well to remember, as such bogus
balls are often offered for sale, but can be
told Immediately By comparing them
with glass. Rock crystal balls will not
be collected like stamps, birds eggs or
coins. A ball one inch in diameter
brings 81, two inches s., three inches in
diameter SIS to $35, four inches $40 to
to SIS, five inches 1925 to $50, six
inches from 5000 to 5000, and from
here they jump to astonishing prices, 50
that one can be as select in crystal balls
as with diamonds.
The majority comes from Madagascar
and Brazil, while the best known local.
ties in Europe are Fredeberg, Salzberg
Zillerthal in the Tyrol and Hungary
Limited supplies come from Ceylon, and
some has been found in this state, though
not in large quantities. In the vicinity
of Mont Blanc some fine specimens are
found, and some years ago peasant
made remarkable find at Galensteck,
above the Trifengletscher. 1t was a
granite cave, from which the discoverer
took over 1000 crystals, the finest weigh
ing about 100 pounds. The largest was
sent to this country, and is now in the
collection Of Mr. Clarence S. Bement. Of
Philadelphia. Another, known as The
Grandfather" is preserved at Berne,
Switzerland. 1t weighs 276 pounds.
while The King tips the scales at 225
pounds weight.-San Francisco Call.

but a few of the leading characters.

but few of the leading characteris-
tics of every worthy instructor un-
der whose care and control the
youth of our land are placed. First,
| would note Morality. If pupils
love and respect their teachers they
will not only obey them, but they
will also initiate them in their hab-
its and in their actions. How I'M
portant it is then, that the teacher
should be an example of truth, of
honor. of virtue; and that he should
carefully abstain not only from all
that is sinful and degrading but
even from that which is questionable
in its nature or evil in its tendency !!
If the professor INDUCES in the use
of Intoxicating drinks, can he con.
scientiously forbid his students from
doing likewise? If he puffs his cigar
or chews his quid of tobacco, can he
impress upon the minds of his pupils
the fact that the habit is filthy, use
less and injurious Ifhe frequents
the theatre and ballroom, can he
consistently admonish his scholars
to remain quietly at their rooms and
diligently pursue their studies /? If
has conversation is harsh, profane, or
abusive, can he expect to train up
his pupils in the paths of peace,
purity and virtueg Certainly not.
Would it not, then, be well, while
we are talking so much about reform
in the administration of our govern
ment to also impress upon the minds
of our teachers the need of reform
And would it not be well for our
teachers, when they are complaining
al lack of decorum. or want OF
application on the part of their
scholars to examine themselves and
see whether they possess faults which
they are transmitting to those over
whom they have control?
One untimely word one angry
flown, or one rash act on the part of
the instructor may SOW the seeds OF
sin and resentment so deep in the
heart of the pupil that an entire
seasons work, fraught with all that
is good, pure aud lofty, can not re-
move. 0 that our teachers could
feel the great responsibility resting
upon their shoulders; and that while
they are endeavoring to teach the
pupil how to read and to write: to
cipher and to spell, they would, also,
most earnestly labor by example as
well as by counsel to instruct him in
the ways of sobriety, integrity and
morality

THE USES OF ELECTRICITY.

Nothing in the history of enter
prise and invention excels the pro-
gress of electricity as an industrial
agent. Its development has been
simply marvellous. 1t was as far
back as 1927 that Franklin few his
kite and drew u sufficient secret
from the clouds, but for over a hun
dred years plans for Geographic
communication were attempted
without flattering results, until
Morse solved the problem and built
the first line between Baltimore and
Washington. Since that time, less
than a half century ago, the lines
have multiplied, until now they ag
gregate the enormous length of over
eight hundred thousand miles, or
more than enough to wrap this good
old earth twenty -four times around,
and the miles of wife reach total
OF over two and half millions, or
enough for five distinct wires to and
from the earth to the moon. In this
country alone nearly one hundred
million messages are sent and re-
ceived every year. And, as for cab.
les, there are thousands and thous-
ands of miles of them, and their car-
ital stock amounts to over one and
five millions dollars.
AS for telephones, we all know
how they have multiplied. In
about five years they have extended
until they now represent a capital in
this country of nearly sixty millions,
and this very year there will be
nearly four hundred million Hellos
over the wires IN the United States.
Think of 1T. Four hundred million
tintinnabulations Of the bell, follow
ed each time by sweet and mellow
voice asking, What number,
please ?"
In electric lighting there has been
similar development. One hundred
and twenty five million dollars are
invested in it, and about 700 local
companies are engaged in supplying
it. Electric railways are growing
rapidly into favor, and already they
carry million passengers a year in
this country, and their cost is one.
half of the cost of horse cars.
We write by electricity, we see by
electricity, we hear by electricity,
we travel by electricity. If inven-
ton goes much further, it will get us
to thinking by electricity.

Some strange Llterarr Lllsings.

Rev. DIR. Hale's remarks on the in
fluence of books in the formation of
character call to mind the strange lit
erary hkings of some celebrated men.
Napoleon read and re-read The Sor-
rows of Werther." In the sands of
Egypt, in the mud of Poland, ON the
banks of the Danube or those of the Wis
lula, he carried that hypersentimental
volume with him and almost memorized
it. He delighted Goethe by narrating
how he had treasured the little copy he
first bought, and how he had read it aloud
to an admiring group of officers in tho
shadow Of the pyramids. Napoleon liked
very different books, the romances of
Restif de La Bretonne, and had marked
prediction for theological treatises as
well. Goethe loved THE Vicar of Wake
field" and Cowper, the hymn writer, a
child in purity of life and thought, who
would have shrunk from Tom Jones as
from pollution, yet delighted in the his
tory of Joseph Andrews. The question
is, were any of these men greatly in
fiuenced by what they read, or did they
possess dual natures, one of which in
sisted ON being satisfied? Anybody who
chooses may answer this question:

NO. 6.

With morality indelibly stamped
upon his every action; with firm
ness and decision of character por-
trayed in his reproofs aud correc-
tions; with words of love and kind
ness ever greeting his pupils; and
with education and ability sufficient
for the performance of his daties,
the instructor need not fear the ton
que of the gossip, nor the opposition
of the grumbler, for ne will almost
surely have around and about him
not only an adjoining, and affection
ate and a prosperous school; but he
will have at the same time the res
pect, the esteem, and the approval
of all people who admire in man,
purity of pun pose, and who have at
heart the cause Of education.

PoEM--Oct goth. 1887.
o! Love thy web is sweet and light,
OF rainbowtinted, silken woof.
But far too weak its texture slight
For time, and strife, and changes proof
The tempers of the noblest mould, their souls
Soon disentangle of thy dangerous coils,
While weaker hearts, that would be free again,
Break their own strength in thy mysterious skein,
And wake to find their travail vain t.
Thou dream of women, and mad rage of men
But Friendships chain BELTS the sage,
Adorns the brave, eyalts the just
Youths soace and the joy of age,
Which men may cherish, women trust
Of FURNISHED silver, or respondent gold,
It binds old classmates in magnetic fold,
Each link mirror, where we see relit
The college ppe-rebound the ivy wreath
Retold the classic jest, beneath
Pierian foliage of most generous wit
Whom we adore, o. Queen divine,
Whose token on our breasts we wore,
The prizes of the class were thine,
In modern science, ancient lore;
But less in value in our eyes were these
Rich treasures of departed centuries,
Than were the song, the shout that ragged affair.
Like rites with tabled Bacchus in the van,
Except for Phrygian pipe, the Powhatan-
For Syrian odors, fumed the brown cigar
For joyful cry, Eve! Eyev
The welkin rang with glorious ID. X. E.!
Yet was our Mother temperate;
In love with letters, and the lamp,
She taught such culture and debate
OF noble themes as great men stamp
The subtle fire that burns in spirits rare
She lit and nourished with mothers care:
While on her past, with manly pride we muse,
Fill high to her the bowl of memory,
In youthful strain of revelry,
While temperate age conmends the use
From Alpha to Omega let
The chapters of our Order run,
Until the seal of learning set
Hellenic grace upon each son;
The press, the church, the bar, the civic fame
With rare significance her work proclaim;
Her future as her past, shall shed renown
OF high achievement on curriculum,
And after life pursued therefrom,
With bays of victory, her sons shall crown.
And here upon this queenly Lake,
Mid spires, and domes, and wondrous marts.
Our glasses touch for her dear sake
Who taught US well to play our parts;
We thank our Mother for our college days,
The joys she gave, the courage, faith, and praise
We pledge our dead companionship, and pray
Our end be peaceful when we come to die,
AS when upon cloudless sky
Declining suns presage fairer day!

The zoroastrIan Religion.

Just here comes in the correction Of
certain error that has often been made
with regard to the Zoroastrian religion,
that is treating it as dualistic religion.
Nothing was further from Zoroaster's
mind than to assume anything but one
supreme being, one and indiyisible. But
that everlasting problem Of all thinking
minds, viz, the origin Of evil and its in
compatibility with Gods goodness, holi-
ness and justice, he attempted to solve
by assuming two primeval causes which,
though different, were united, and pro-
duced the world Of the material things
as well as that Of the spirit. Tho ons
who produced the reality is called Vohn
Mano, the good mind; the other, through
whom the non-reality originated, is the
Akem Mano, the naught mind. To the
first belong all good, true and perfect
things; to the second all that is delusive,
bad, wicked. These two aboriginal
moving causes Of the universe are called
twins. They are spread everywhere, in
God as in men. It is only in later writ
ings that these two are supposed to be
opposed to each other, not within Ahura-
mazda, but without--to stand, in fact, in
the relation Of God and devil to each
other. Boston Herald.
